Were there really wolf girls? Were two girls ages 2 and 8 really raised by wolves? This is a true story, sort of. The two girls were brought to an orphanage in India in 1920. They could not speak. They ran around on all fours and ate raw meat. Joseph Singh, the person who brought the girls to the orphanage, said he found the girls in a wolf den. We have only Mr. Singh's journal as evidence that the girls were found in a wolf den. Some people who saw the girls said they acted like animals, but that's not really proof that the girls were raised by wolves. Did Mr. Singh make it all up? Were the girls really raised by wolves? Did they not speak because they had a mental or physical problem? Or were they just abandoned by their family and raised by a kind man? Those are the four most popular theories given. Are any of them right? Nobody knows for sure. It is a mystery still waiting to be solved. Which theory do you like best or do you have your own theory of what happened to the wolf girls of Midnapore, India? Please share your theory with us in three to four well written sentences. Be sure to tell us why you believe in that theory.
I think that Sing WAS telling the truth because how on earth could he make a story up with all those details? it would just be a waste of tim if it wasn't true.I also think its real because the walked on all fours their arms were long and that their teeth were sharp.
ReplyDeleteTo The class: I don't think that sing could REALLY make a story up with ALL of those details because he would be busy with the orphanage. But then again i might be wrong
ReplyDeletemaybe.
DeleteCould be. But we will never know. :P
DeleteI think it was ture because could he make those story because they where very good.But what I do not think is ture is how could the wolf not eat the babys. I also think it is ture because I have seen a movie about what happen. I also think it is true because those stores where very good . But you never now I could be rong or rite.
ReplyDeleteI think that Sing was telling the truth because how could he come up with so many deatails. Why would it hurt when the girl would stand up if she wasnt raised by wolfs? Why would she have long arms if she wasnt raised by wolfs? It would be a wast of time to come up with all of this.
ReplyDeleteI think that they were raised by wolfs. Evidence: How could the get worms in their stomach if they hadn't eaten raw meat. why would they get sick under such good care from Mr.Singh,Because it said that wolfs don't like change of schedule.
ReplyDeleteI think that Sing is LYING. L-Y-I-N-G. It's HIGHLY unlikely that a 2 year old child and a 8 year child could survive in the wild with snakes, tigers, and wolves. It's possible that they had a mental or physical problem, but ,why would they go into the wild? And abandoned by their family? A mom not loving her child and sending him or her into the wild? OH REALLY. Why would they be inside a termite mound? A ghost, REALLY!?!? Trying to publish a journal filled with blurry photos a year after they were found?!? This sounds like a scheme to make money. The jig's up Mr. Sing. F-A-K-E-R, L-I-A-R. That's Mr. Sing. :P.
ReplyDeleteI think that the two girls WERE raised by wolfs because I'v heard of people that were raised in the wild and raised by wolfs. I also think that Singh was lying and he just wrote the journal because of the fame and money. But I am also wondering if he is going to keep some of the money for himself and the rest for the orphanage. Because he was becoming very selfish.
ReplyDeleteI think that the girls were really raised by wolves because the girls had sharp teeth. Also, the girls walked on all fours and they couldn't speak. So they probably were raised by wolves. I think that Mr. Singh was telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteI think the girls were raised by wolfs. I think Mr.Singh found the girls in a wolf den. I think the girls mite of got lost from their parents. Why wood Mr. Singh tell a lie?
ReplyDeleteI think that the story is true but part isn't. there are lots of stores and movies about kids getting raised by animals like the Jungle book and Tarzan. But I also think singh was lying mostly for the money and the fame. He turned out to be kind of mean. You don't lie for money or fame you have to tell the truth you don't deserve something for something you didn't do.
ReplyDeleteI think girls were not raised by wolfs because they might have just problems. I think he was just publishing the book for both money for the orfiage and for him but he was getting selfish. What i think is that number #3 made the most sense to me.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that Mr. Singh is telling the truth. I think that the girls were left there after a fire or a terrible storm by their mother or father so that they could remain safe. At the same time, they could have been raised by wolves because they were walking on all fours, not speaking, and eating raw meat.
ReplyDeleteI think the wolf girls were raised by wolfs because of thier actions.Like how they howled at night, didn't speak and when they tore open clothes.So I think singh WAS telling the truth.And singh storys made a little bit of sense.
ReplyDeleteI think Sing was lying because I think wolves cannot raise children because they are animals. I think she was left there for nobody to watch them. Maybe they had a problem or something. I also had a connection it was Tarzan.
ReplyDeleteI think that the girls were raised by wolves. I think that they were abandoned and the wolves kind of adopted them into their wolf pack. I think they walked on all fours because that is what they learned by watching the wolves. They probably ate raw meat because that is all there was for them to eat in the wild. It is kind of like Tarzan's story. He was raised by wild animals so acted like them too.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is that Sing might have not found the girls but still if the girls don't know how to walk normally yet than I do believe the girls were raised by wolves. And I think that Sing lied about finding the girls in the woods with the wolves. The reason is that Sing decided to is 3rd lie 1 year after the girls were found. That is my theory.
ReplyDeleteI think its true because it looks like they act like wolves. Also because they walk like wolves. They can't speak english but they may have disabilities. I think Sing is telling he truth but he may be doing it to become famous.
ReplyDeleteI think Sing made it up because he wanted money for the orphanage. But I also think the girls were raised by wolves because they couldn't walk normally. I believe in theory 1 and theory 2. I think it was a great book.
